Human Rights Abuses Revealed By Guantanamo Translator

Sexual torture, neglect, and mistreatment of often innocent prisoners, and the damage it has done to the US image is revealed in the book Inside The Wire.

Of course this is being totally ignored by the mainstream media in the United States, and once again anyone looking for the truth must go to media outlets outside the U.S. to get the truth that this administration with the help of the corporate media hides from the citizens.

In one session a female interrogator took off some of her clothes and smeared fake blood on a prisoner after telling him she was menstruating. 'That's a big deal. It is a major insult to one of the world's biggest religions where we are trying to win hearts and minds,' Saar said.
